Overall Satisfaction with Watchguard Endpoint Security

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use to have 2 WatchGuard Endpoint Security firewalls till not so long ago. The primary one was connected to the fiber optics connection. And the second one was a backup unit connected to the cable Internet connection. The fail over never worked properly and manual work was required. The unit’s dashboard was clunky and cluttered, especially the log. The rules where somehow easy to set up and worked properly. The paid yearly services were a bit expensive, but that depends on the amount of security that you are trying to implement. the VPN features worked OK as well. The technical support was from overseas.

Pros and Cons

Pros

VPN
Firewall rules
AD integration

Cons

UI
Logs
Ease of use

Return on Investment

Sometimes our main internet connection would go down and the firewall’s fail over service did not work as expected. Manual user intervention was required..
The VPN client installation should be easy for any user without previous experience to be able to install it and con it without being a hassle.

on larger scenarios, I believe other competitors are better prepared.
